    I never really browsed around the site a little more, so not sure if it was there before or not. Is it the wiki?

    And the winner is bullfrog
    I reckon that deserves a pen. Bullfrog, could you PM me a postal address?

    I think this wiki business is going to be a bit of a learning curve. What fascinates me is the software that drives it is about double the size of vBulletin and yet it is arguably less user friendly and linking structures pretty well need to be built from scratch

    Anyway, I expect we'll learn as we go. Anyone a real wiki buff out there?
    Any particular tips on managing that area we should know about?

    I've already learnt how to do basic editing and to protect pages, but that just has to be the first baby steps
    At least I've got registration managed by the vB software, so there I'm on familiar ground.

    Hey Dave, not sure if you've been messing with things, but I just noticed that the nav bar links (Home | News | Articles | Forums) seem to be a bit confused.

    Do a refresh - you're getting cached (old) images.

    Ah, thanks Firefox's aggressive caching has its ups and downs. Wrt the right hand nav bar on the forum pages, I think it may be a CSS issue that the centre area (forum list) has a fixed width, or something along those lines.

    Can you give me a screenshot of the problem - I'm not following you.

    Here you go. I seem the same in Firefox and IE. With the other pages when you make your browser window horizontally smaller, everything scales with it (except the headings and logo), while for that page the main content (forum list) does not scale. I suspect the CSS has some wrapper (e.g. main-wrapper) with the width value set to a fixed pixel value. Not 100% sure how to resolve it though....

    Thanks for that. It's caused by the Top 5 Stats info box near the bottom of the page. With my widescreen setup I don't pick up on stuff like that.

    I've done some restructuring to reduce the impact - now just to fill in that gap below the navigation menu on the right hand side...
